Well the photograph of Monaco taken from Roquebrune village - and the ones of the beach on Menton DP were all taken two days ago on the 12th December.

This photograph of the couple was taken on the 10th December, two days earlier. It was a sunny day but it was very windy - but still with that blue blue sky as I've others taken that day and you'd not have known of the wind. Of course it was that very wind that blew all the muck away! Hence perfect blue sky.

I expect this couple were wearing coats 1. cos of wind and 2. cos they are in dressed-up mode for Monaco! The wind was cold tho - I remembering having a jacket on that day.

Here, in winter, when the sun is shining it's wonderfully warm, but as soon as the sun goes down or behind a cloud, it can be chilly. I'm wearing thermal underwear all the time - visitors don't!
